Aaand we're live. Repurposed Vintage now available on J.Faye!

I'm excited to share what I've been working on with you guys! I've been trying to crank out enough pieces to get this thing going. I've wanted to share my repurposed/upcycled designs forever, but in the past, lack of time and resources prevented me from doing so. Now, I've got at least one of the two and even got my own photographer for when Jerald can't take pictures!

But in all seriousness, sharing these pieces with the world means a lot to me. I hope you love them as much as I do. Here are some of them so far:

Sailor Bloomer Shorts

So I've been working hard to stock my etsy shop and this week I launch it. Most of what I post on my etsy shop will be handmade with some hand selected vintage. Until I assumed the role of "designer" I never realized how much hard work goes into constructing garments and designing them. I always enjoyed the ready-made manufactured clothes I bought from stalwart retailers but never appreciated a garment the way I do now. Now, I respect designers, especially the ones like me that do everything themselves. Now, I know that instead of supporting the stalwart retailers that already have more than enough money, that it's very important to support the struggling artist and designer. The process of launching this shop has poured in a lot of blood, sweat, and tears on my part.

Support handmade!

My first item is the one below. Taken straight from the site, the description is:

Perfect for these warmer months, these cute bloomers feature an elastic waist and leg openings. When worn, they sit right at your hips for a comfortable fit. Made in with a pair of upcycled, reclaimed sweats and adorned with an anchor patch on the left leg, these shorts are uber ecofriendly.

- Elastic waist and leg openings
- Anchor sailor patch on left leg
- Reclaimed Cotton/poly pile knit sweater material
- Will fit a Small/Medium
- Waistband: 14.5" inches laid flat
- Inseam: 6" inches
- Leg Opening: 8.5" inches
